SRINAGAR, Apr 3: Reiterating its demand of shifting the firing range at Tosamaidan in Central Kashmir’s Budgam district, the Aam Aadmi Party has asked the Government to make it clear to the people whether they have plans to shift the firing range from this area or not.
Speaking at a workers meeting here AAP leader and party’s Lok Sabha candidate from Srinagar Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat said that Government was playing hide and seek game viz a viz Tosamaidan as no clear orders or directions were being issued to end the lease agreement.
“On one side National Conference leaders assure people through their press statements that lease agreement won’t be extended beyond April 14, 2014 , but on the other hand Government led by the same party is not endorsing the same statement. People have been kept in dark and there is chaos and confusion among them,” he said.
The AAP leader warned that if the lease agreement was extended the situation would turn ugly and the Government will be responsible for the same. “There are as many as two dozen firing ranges in India and out of them five are located in J&K”, he said adding that AAP volunteers would fight tooth and nail if the lease agreement is extended.
Taking a strong note of the video in which NC leader Sakina Itoo has been forcing an old man to swear on holy “Quran” for ensuring his allegiance to National Conference, Dr Muzaffar said that it has been a policy of NC to cheat the poor people of Kashmir and emotionally blackmail them especially at the time of elections by misusing the religion.
